PS untouched is status quo. The grievance was from a past scenario, so throwing it out sets a bad precedence.
The compensation information and changes to 3B4 is covered in Negotiators Notepad 16-16.
Section 3 B. 4. and 5. "me too" Clauses Sections 3 B. 4 and 5 were created to facilitate Delta pilots getting a pay review when pay raises or bonuses are granted to other Delta employees. This TA incorporates modifications to 3 B. 4 that were negotiated as part of last year's Tentative Agreement. Section 3 B. 5 of our current contract expired on December 31, 2015 and has not been reinstated in this TA. 3 B. 4 triggers when Delta provides a pay raise to a significant number of our fellow employees. At that time, not only the size of that raise is looked at, our benchmark pay rate (B-757) is also compared to our peers at American and United. We then receive a pay increase of the lesser of the Delta raise, or the average of AA's and UAL's 757 rates versus our own.
Lately, airlines and pilot groups have both considered comprehensive pay, most commonly hourly-pay-plus-profit-sharing value, in negotiations and other comparisons. This TA establishes an "effective hourly rate" model for comparing the three carriers, replacing the existing straight hourly rate comparison. For the purposes of 3 B. 4, each carrier's hourly pay (DAL, AA and UAL) will be adjusted by its relative profit share performance and then compared.
The profit sharing percentage applied to American and United will be limited to no greater than the Delta profit sharing performance for the same period. For example,
if Delta's profit sharing for a given comparison period paid 10%, American's 8% and United's 12%, the hourly rates used for 3 B..4 comparison would be Delta's B-757 increased by 10%, versus American's B-757 plus 8% averaged with United's B-757 plus 10%.
Hope this helps.
